The latest news on Philadelphia and Washington.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their NFC Championship Game matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Note that this report is an estimation because the team held a walkthrough in lieu of a normal practice.
The Eagles listed two players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Dallas Goedert and Cam Jurgens.
These players weren’t expected to be on the injury report.
Goedert played in 60 out of 63 possible snaps against the Los Angeles Rams. Perhaps he tweaked something and the Eagles are trying to manage him to get to Sunday? It’s worth noting that the Eagles signed a tight end to the practice squad earlier on Wednesday.
Jurgens played in 63 out of 63 possible snaps against the Rams. Perhaps he tweaked something and the Eagles are trying to manage him to get to Sunday? It’s worth noting that the Eagles signed veteran offensive lineman Cameron Erving, who has center experience, to the practice squad earlier on Wednesday.
It’ll be worth monitoring how these guys progress (or not) over the next two days.
The Eagles listed six players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Jalen Hurts, Quinyon Mitchell, A.J. Brown, Lane Johnson, Josh Sweat, and Britain Covey.
As expected, Hurts told reporters he’s going to play. The question isn’t if he’s going to suit up on Sunday. The question is how limited Hurts will be, if at all.
Mitchell told reporters he’s going to play against the Commanders.
Brown is once again listed with a “knee/rest” designation. Maybe it’s a good thing he was listed as limited instead of DNP? He did not practice last Wednesday.
Johnson is listed with a “knee/rest” designation. The “knee” part of that is new. But he’ll be playing on Sunday.
Sweat is listed with an “ankle/rest” designation. The “ankle” part of that is new. But he’ll be playing on Sunday.
Covey’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve was opened earlier today. We’ll see how he progresses over the next two days. The Eagles have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday to activate him in time to play on Sunday.
The Eagles listed two players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Kenny Pickett and Byron Young.
Pickett was also a full participant in practice throughout last week. He’s still healing from broken ribs but that won’t prevent him from serving as Hurts’ backup.
Young’s 21-day practice window was opened on January 8. The Eagles will need to make a decision on activating him from injured reserve or not prior to the middle of next week at the latest.
